Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground pork
- 1 tablespoon Ginger
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 3 stalks Green onions
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon White pepper
- 50 pieces Wonton wrappers
- 1 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
Peel and finely grate the ginger, and mince the garlic cloves. Slice the green onions finely.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, grated ginger, minced garlic, sliced green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, salt, and white pepper. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well combined.
Lay a wonton wrapper flat on a clean surface. Keep a small bowl of water nearby.
Place about 1 teaspoon of the pork mixture into the center of the wrapper.
Dip your finger in water and run it along the edges of the wonton wrapper to moisten.
Fold the wrapper into a triangle by bringing one corner to the opposite corner, pressing edges to seal.
If desired, bring the two opposite corners of the triangle together and press firmly to seal by moistening with water.
Repeat the process with the remaining pork mixture and wrappers until all are filled and sealed.
In a large pot, bring water to boil over high heat.
Gently lower the wontons into the boiling water using a slotted spoon, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the wontons float to the top and the filling is cooked through.
In a separate large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Carefully transfer boiled wontons to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until lightly crispy and golden.
Serve the wontons hot, with a dipping sauce of your choice or in a broth for a complete wonton soup.
